About Euler's Challenges

"$e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$" - Leonhard Euler

Our Motivation

Euler's Challenges was founded to celebrate the legacy of Leonhard Euler and to share a deep passion for mathematics. This competition invites Lebanese students to engage with creative and rigorous problems that highlight the beauty and logic of mathematical thinking.

More than a test of skill, it’s an invitation to explore patterns, solve puzzles, and appreciate the elegance of abstract ideas. Our mission is to spark curiosity, build confidence, and strengthen analytical abilities.

We believe Lebanon holds exceptional mathematical talent. Through Euler's Challenges, we aim to cultivate that potential, foster a culture of critical thinking, and empower a new generation to excel on the global stage.
